Wahey! I’m a bit late to the party with this one, but if you’re part of the Four Corners of the Bookshelf Goodreads group, you’ll know that our #SadSeptember book is I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson. I’ve heard it’s a beautiful and touching novel, and I’m looking forward to starting it on Monday. (I’ve taken the day off for the occasion!) It’s got a 4.15 average rating on Goodreads, so I’m feeling optimistic. 🙂 Jude and her twin brother, Noah, are incredibly close. At thirteen, isolated Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy […]

My coworker arrived from the States today, and he was carrying precious cargo – a signed copy of Air Awakens by Elise Kova! I was so excited that I decided to host a spontaneous giveaway on Twitter. All you need to do is follow me and retweet the bit at the bottom of this post. I will preorder the winner a paperback copy of Fire Falling, out on the 19th of November, as well as send them a beautifully signed Fire Falling bookmark (and an Air Awakens bookmark…but it’s not signed, sorry!). Because I have other plans in the works, […]

So I haven’t been blogging very long, and I’m officially in my first reading slump. I put it down to a factor of three things: I’ve been obsessed with Air Awakens, not going to lie. You’ve probably noticed this already. Work. Work. Oh yes, work. I am dying. Guilt. Because of work, I haven’t had the energy to blog as much, and the review backlog has piled up. I just don’t feel like I can read when other books are waiting for my thoughts. I’m being honest about this because I think we need to acknowledge that book bloggers are […]

Hey everyone! I’m being slammed by work this week (and probably for the next three during our busiest period of the year), so I’ve been rather quiet. I’m pretty much on a work-sleep-repeat pattern at the moment. BUT I’m not going to be quiet this Saturday! Why’s that? Because I get to talk about one of my favourite books of the year so far, Air Awakens! At 12pm GMT (so 1pm UK, 10pm Australia, 8am EST), I will be joined by my Four Corners of the Bookshelf team live on Youtube. Air Awakens came out TODAY, so if you want […]

Guys. Guys. Guys. I’m so excited. So, not long ago, I read and reviewed Air Awakens by Elise Kova. It’s being released this Thursday, the 27th of August, and I can’t wait for you all to read it. And, if you read it as quickly as I did, I’m sure you’ll want to come along to watch the first Four Corners of the Bookshelf hangout and Twitter chat on the 29th of August at 12pm GMT (1pm UK). Air Awakens releasing in… [tminus t=”27-08-2015 00:00:01″ omitweeks=”true” style=”carbonlite” id=”air-awakens-release” /] Now I’m sharing with you the GORGEOUS cover for the next book in the […]

Today is special. It’s a FRIDAY!!! And it’s also the final day of the 3 Days, 3 Quotes challenge. THE THREE RULES: Thank the person who nominated you. Post a quote for 3 consecutive days (1 quote for each day). Nominate three new bloggers each day. Today’s quote is about using the bad things you’ve done in your life to drive you towards doing better things. “There are two kinds of guilt. The kind that’s a burden and the kind that gives you purpose. Let your guilt be your fuel. Let it remind you of who you want to be. […]
